I had vibro lipo/smart lipo done together on my outer thighs last fall, and I am thrilled with my results! It was free for me, but I know the doctor charges around 2K, and I would totally spend that over doing lipodissolve treatments.
What sucks about lipodissolve is first of all, you swell up BAD in the injection site for close to a week, and I don't care how much the doctor sugar coats it and says you don't, you do! You won't be able to work for a few days. Also, it takes a series of treatments to yield a somewhat noticeable result, it took me close to a year to even barely notice the lipodissolve results....where as liposuction, you notice a dramatic result within a few weeks, improving over the months, and the downtime is minimal! I was out shopping and walking around right after my surgery. I literally walked out of the doctors office right after my surgery! The technology has improved so much, it's not near as invasive as it used to be.
I honestly wish I would've saved my 5K, that was such a huge waste of money! Not to mention, it's very debatable where that fat actually goes. The substance makes the fat cells "die'', explode, leak, whatever, but where does it go? They tell you your lymphatic system flushes it out and basically you pee, poop, and sweat your fat out.... BUT most doctors agree that this is not medically possible. The fat migrates to another part of your body, maybe viscerally, around your organs or in your arteries! Scary......
